Thought I'd add my experiences with this kext as well.

In general the driver seems to work fine, however with a good amount of network traffic, I can cause it to get into a kernel panic relatively quickly. I can do this by running utorrent on mac for a download that takes a long time (try a 4 GB iso for example).

I'm running 10.6.7 with a Asus P8P67 Pro/intel 2600k cpu.

My kernel panics always have the error along the lines of "m_free: freeing an already freed mbuf"

Nothing telling in the console messages. This only happens when I use a network intensive application like uTorrent. It was happening within the first 30 minutes on a big torrent (> 10 GB) with the latest version of uTorrent, but after going back to an older version the mean time of failure is now about 6-8 hours.

I'll take a picture of the actual kernel panic next time if that helps.

Thanks for the new build. I'll try running it and see if it makes a difference.

Kernel panic occurred again, but I was unfortunately not able to capture the image. Will try to do so if it happens again, but for now this build does not fix the issue.

I think that previous kernel panic may have been a fluke. Been running now for over 6 hours with no issues with the new build you posted. Will let you know if there are any other issues but it seems very promising.
